Actually to me giving the name GIMP to the first "free software" end user
application foremost strengthens people's prejudges that open source software
is unprofessional and mostly targeted at immature adolescents. Come on, it's
not even clever, it's like naming an end user app something like MO'FO, FAG or
RETARD.
Spam? You have to be kidding me! That comes from Hormel SpicedHam and was
introduced in the '30s. Since when is the name itself derogatory?
